Default Source for steel AN fittings

Hey - I am looking for a steel AN823-8 fitting and Spruce is backordered until early June. I tried a search, but came up empty. Are there any other online suppliers I should check for steel AN fittings?

Thanks,
Jason

my local hydraulic hose shop stocks them at a pretty good price.

Any shop that makes hydraulic hoses usually have quite a selection of what they call JIC fittings exactly the same thing as steel AN's

Find a Parker Hose Shop. They will most likely have it there in the store. I have 3 locations here in Phoenix and they are all well stocked. They also carry Earl's fittings.

Morgan, JIC and AN are not the same, even though they look or resemble each other. NOT starting a flame war here, but different machining, class 3 threads and some different materials are the differences.

BUT---for experimentals, JIC adapters work just fine

I looked at Pegasus last night, but I only could find AL fittings in the size I am looking for. I need to order my FWF Oil and fuel lines... I'll call Tom and see if they have what I am looking for.

Thanks for all the suggestions
